What Are Your Rates?

We've learned that every music teacher is different, and each has different skills. Some have Masters degrees, while others are still students themselves. For this reason, we've given the teachers the ability to set their own rates when they are hired based on their skills. The rate for guitar lessons is $25.00 for a 30 minute lesson.

Is 30 Minutes Enough?

For beginners the answer is definitely yes. When you are first learning, you're getting a lot of new, and in some cases, confusing information given to you. The amount of information given in one 30 minute lesson will give you a lot to work on as you practice throughout the week. Practicing is absolutely essential to learning music. As you get to more advanced skills, more time may be necessary if and when your teacher recommends it.

How Long Will It Take To Learn?

We get asked this question a lot. There is no specific date, or number of lessons. It depends on a few things including how often students practice. Although the songs may be very simple, we know we can have students playing at least one short song within 30 days. If you are hoping to play Mozart, it will take more time. But anyone can do it if they want it enough or work hard enough.

What Do I Need To Start?

Students will need a guitar to learn on. It is recommended for younger students to use a 3/4 size or junior size guitar. If the guitar is too big, it might be difficult for students to get the right positioning, and learning the techniques will be more difficult. Another suggestion for younger players is to use a classical guitar when learning because the nylon strings will not be as hard on their fingers as the steel strings of an acoustic or electric guitar. If you do not have a guitar already, we can provide one for rent or for purchase. New students will also be given a lesson book which they will need to purchase at the first lesson. Please avoid purchasing a book before the first lesson since the book you buy, and the book the teacher recommends may not be the same book. We would also suggest that students purchase a tuner, but it is still possible to learn without one since the teacher can tune up the guitar at each lesson.
